That's a warning message you would get by
running the 2.3 Translator. It's harmless, but I
recommend that you use the 2.4 beta Translator, ec.exe.

In 2.4, one of the C structures used by the translator
was changed so it no longer has a "first" member, but instead
has a "base" member. This is defined in euphoria.h which
should be in your euphoria\include directory if you have
installed the 2.4 Interpreter package. It sounds
like you have combined the 2.4 Interpreter package
with the 2.3 Translator - that won't work.

To avoid confusion, I recommend that you install the
2.4 beta Interpreter (maybe you have already),
and the 2.4 beta Translator and Library.
2.4 beta is very stable.
